Of course, Elder Guan was experienced in the ways of the world, so there was no need for him to ask about this topic in front of the three women.
"Young man, Elder Peng and I have been friends for many years, so I understand his illness quite well. I really want to know, how did you stabilize his stubborn disease?
How did you achieve the treatment effect? "Elder Guan asked directly.
I was surprised at first, then answered casually, "Just a few needles."
Hearing my light answer, Elder Guan's face was full of embarrassment. You said it so lightly. Of course, he understood how many things were involved in acupuncture. Whether it was the technique of inserting the needles, the strength, or the time the needles stayed in the body, they all needed to be very precise. This was something in the medical field, just like in the aerospace field, there was no room for mistakes or errors.
Otherwise, there would be some painful consequences. Therefore, those who knew a little bit about acupuncture would use some harmless acupuncture points. It wouldn't have any treatment effect, but there wouldn't be any side effects.
Over time, the reputation of acupuncture was ruined. According to the ancient records, thousands of years ago, acupuncture was a magical technique that shocked the world.
However, these things were buried in the dust of history. Even now, some people, under the mentality of worshiping foreign things, preferred western medicine treatment. They always thought that it was fast and effective, and Chinese medicine was broad and profound, far beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
Acupuncture was one of the major categories. It had been developed for thousands of years, but it hadn't been settled. Even some of the precious medical records were incomplete.
"Young man, may I know where your teacher is?" Elder Guan stared at me and asked.
"No," I shook my head and said.
"Eh?" Elder Guan was stunned. Looking at my face, I didn't look like I was joking.
Oh my god, did I learn it without a teacher?!
This simple answer made Elder Guan want to dig a hole and hide in it. He had studied acupuncture for almost twenty years. If Elder Peng had an old disease, he would at least have to use medicine and acupuncture to stabilize it.
I heard that this young man didn't pass any external tests that day, and he even slapped a professor's face. Elder Guan was quite glad that his old friend didn't take the pill, or else he would be finished.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that this young man's willingness to help others saved a huge change. Otherwise, when Elder Peng passed away, the situation in the capital would also change!
He still felt that I was bragging, or that I was purposely hiding something. It was understandable that I was holding back. To be able to teach a junior like me, it was easy to imagine how terrifying his attainments in the medical field were!
"Hey, it's fine if you don't want to say it. Can you tell me the steps of acupuncture?" Elder Guan wasn't discouraged and still stared at me eagerly.
"The first needle, the Renzhong acupoint, the second needle, the Fengfu acupoint, the third needle, the Shenmai acupoint …" I didn't hide anything about this matter. Even if I knew the strength, the timing, and the acupoints, it didn't mean that I could match it. Everyone's acupuncture technique was different, so the effects were different.
I admired the old man's thirst for knowledge. Moreover, Director Du and the Commander-in-Chief looked at him with polite eyes, so he was most likely not an ordinary person.
After listening to my explanation, Elder Guan couldn't help but frown. "I can understand the first three needles, but why did you choose the Yinbai acupoint for the fourth needle? It might have the opposite effect. After all, his physique isn't the same as a healthy person's."
"You're wrong. When it comes to acupuncture, you don't have to do it step by step. When it's necessary, you have to take a risk. Because his condition at that time was on the verge of life and death, normal stimulation of the acupoints wouldn't have any effect. Only by activating his Qi and blood could he stabilize his breathing. Moreover, the last few needles were connected to the first three needles, so they could dilute the danger brought by the fourth needle!"
These words were eloquent. Ever since I inherited the Medicine King's inheritance, it was as if these things had become my own knowledge.
In my mind, there was a rich reserve of medical knowledge. Although some of it was different from the current theories of Chinese medicine, it was more detailed on the whole. I only needed to filter a part of it to bring forth the new.
This was a process of studying and studying. Although it wasn't as satisfying as fighting with others, every time I figured out the key points, I would have a feeling of enlightenment, which was very enjoyable.
Elder Guan was stunned for a few seconds, then his eyes lit up. Although my tone sounded like I was criticizing him, he had to admit that it was too shocking. He had studied this for twenty years, but after hearing my words, he realized that he had always been following the rules and didn't dare to blindly try it. Although he could treat illnesses, it didn't have any miraculous effect!
Elder Guan was speechless for a long time. Although he was regarded as a divine doctor, his courage and innovation in this area were miles ahead of mine.
The art of acupuncture was like playing with a Rubik's cube. Simply learning wasn't enough for in-depth research. Only by enjoying it would you be able to gain more.
"Good, good, good. This old man will be bold enough to call you the Little Divine Doctor!"
Elder Guan said 'good' thrice excitedly. In his position, he had seen many geniuses in the medical world. However, most of them were just boasting. There were very few people who were truly capable.
This thing couldn't be faked. Whether someone was capable or not, he would know after a short conversation. Although I wasn't a medical expert, my teachings had benefited Elder Guan a lot.
"Hiss."
Shangguan Guoqiang, who was behind him, took a deep breath. He was completely taken aback. With Elder Guan's status, when did he call a young man a divine doctor?
Moreover, this kid had quite a high level of attainment in martial arts. How did his brain work? He didn't stop practicing martial arts, and he even had some achievements in his medical skills.
However, Curator Du couldn't hide the joy on his face. At this time, he could basically confirm that this kid must have obtained acupuncture through the Martial Saint Tablet. Although it wasn't a high-grade martial art, in a sense, its value was no less than that of a high-grade martial art!
This was the only explanation. In the medical field, there was no room for falsehood. The most important thing was experience. I was only eighteen or nineteen years old, how could I have such a magical acupuncture technique?
Seeing that I had woken up, Curator Du was happy from the bottom of his heart.
